Good grief. When I read that they got into a fistfight over "barking dogs," I was expecting to read about rottweilers or pit bulls or Dobermans or something, but this whole dispute started over a . . . Jack Russell terrier?

As the proud owner of a little dog myself, I can state with reasonable certainty that I would only start throwing punches if someone physically lifted my dog off the ground and threw her at something. Getting into an actual fistfight, or even demanding that someone "come over here so we can settle this," over anything less is teh ghey.

Besides, Yoculan could've destroyed both of those old farts all by herself without even breaking a sweat. I wonder if we'll receive any probative Fulmer Cup points for this?

I said months ago that Dantzler should get called into the principal's office because he said --- during a bulldawg basketball game telecast while working for UGA --- that Georgia had no shot against LSU. There was no chance that we could win that game. It is a definite loss.

I said that he should keep his sports talk schtick on sports talk and keep his fatalistic opinions off the gameday telecast.

He said a few months later on his sports talk show the comment above in reference to my allegation that he should get called on the carpet for saying what he said.

Ray Goff also lived in Crystal Hills. One evening someone stole his tractor and when asked the next day about the incident he was famously quoted as saying "Any man that will steal your tractor will shoot your dog."
